Recent polling averages show Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holding a narrow 2- to 3-point lead over Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s open Senate race, with surveys from early October placing El-Sayed between 48% and 53%. This edge stems from El-Sayed’s narrow August primary victory over Rep. Haley Stevens, which consolidated progressive support, and consistent advantages in battleground-state polling since September. Rogers, a former congressman with Trump’s endorsement, has emphasized economic issues and tariffs while facing heavy opposition advertising. The race remains competitive ahead of the November 3 election, with both candidates focusing on voter turnout in key demographics and the impact of outside spending on swing voters. Trader consensus reflects El-Sayed’s sustained polling position in a state that has trended Democratic in recent Senate contests.
